As part of a turnkey construction contract, the client delegates to the contractor the task of designing, planning, and executing all the work required according to established standards and specifications. In turnkey project, the contractor assumes responsibility for delivering a complete structure so that it is ready to for occupancy operation as soon as it is commissioned. With a turnkey contract, a client can obtain a finished product that includes all necessary labour, work execution and supervision services.

What are the difficulties that can be encountered during a turnkey construction versus a lump sum contract or construction management?
The main disadvantage of a turnkey construction contract is its lack of flexibility when it is implemented. As it is the responsibility of the future owner to provide a very detailed description of his project, it is unfortunately no longer possible to make any changes or potential modifications once the contract has been signed. The building contractor is obliged to deliver a final product exactly as requested in the quotes and specifications, which greatly reduces his room for maneuver once on site. The selection of your general contractor is therefore of paramount importance in this type of contract.
A turnkey project is the perfect construction method for:
- A very busy customer, who wants to quickly obtain a finished product, looking for operation upon completion
- A customer who wants to find all the services required under one roof
- A customer who is looking for ease and peace of mind
- A knowledgeable customer who is able to clearly express the scope of the services sought and the expected outcomes for their turnkey project
- A customer who wishes to contract the design and construction of a project under single contract
- An owner who wishes to obtain a single contract price.
